The three brothers aged 24 to 32 attacked a house in the Meknes region "during the night of December 14 to 15, before deliberately setting it on fire and assaulting its occupants with bladed weapons, killing two people on the spot and injuring three others," says the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) in a press release.
